NEW ORLEANS, LA – Long considered a fixture of All-Star Weekend festivities, the National Basketball Association has discontinued its annual “Little People” Hoop Scrimmage, Commissioner David Stern announced on Friday.
Faced with increased pressure from ACLU protesters, Stern expressed regret in cancelling the event from it’s Saturday night program.
“I think we may have extended its (the game’s) shelf-life a few years too many” said a smiling Stern.
“Let’s face it, times have changed, but the memories and belly laughs of those little buggers ‘posting up,’ trying to score will last a lifetime,” he continued.
